I can't think of anything right off hand, Jaybird! My dearest friends got me through some really dark places, I have to say that. Thanks for this smart poem and ode to friendship!

True friends are a blessing of the rarest kind. You deliver an eloquent tribute to the people in life that nourish and sustain the soul. The meter is fluid and the rhyme seamless making for an enjoyable and uplifting read. Nicely done and thank you very much for sharing it.

A wonderful write on what friendship is all about and what it should mean to all of us. Your experience and age makes you, in my mind, an expert on the subject, and, I'm sure, a good friend. Thanks for sharing. I prefer rhyming poems also. I haven't tried sonnets too much. I need to try them. This one was great

You are absolutely right and the lines of this beautiful writing stand out loaded with love for friends. I have read many writings here they all complain of beind let wn by those they called friends.i am one of them. A very good friend of mine just change his mind about me...but one friend goes there is always another.
You deserve the six.

That's a beautiful tribute to friendship. Indeed, we see how much friends are a blessing even in ancient times as tributes were written since then. It is important that we cherish and care for the friends God gives us to cherish and to bless us with.

So true, you certainly can't buy friendship, because when the money runs out...so will such friends! An excellent ode to friendship, they are our salvation in troubling times, blessings...

This reminds me of the laminated poems you could purchase at Hallmark stores to include in a card -- that the person receiving it would cherish. The sentiment is positive and sincere.

This sonnet flows smoothly and teaches an important lesson. Friends can help you through the rough times. But to have a good friend you have to be a good friend

Keep writing

Hi JAYBIRD1,
I really enjoy a good sonnet and this one had all the right ingredients for a top read. I love the topic you wrote about and I suspect most people would take your view , that friends are so important.
Having a friend is like having your own psychologist. lol
A really great poem.
